  1. Don't forget to visit the road map to see what's coming next.

     

    AD=Affinity Designer=Vector and Raster: (Illustrator)
    APh=Affinity Photo=Photo manipulation: (Photoshop)
    APu=Affinity Publisher=Desktop publishing: (In Design)

    This clears up any confusion and is a handy short cut. This copies Adobe's style of naming, which also copies the periodic table abbreviations. As seen in the current US TV series Breaking Bad titles.

    Let's see what you can do...I've put my favourite pins on my Pinterest board... here's a few from it

    As for the various tutorials, MEB has kindly posted these links here

    Should be enough to get the ball going.

     

  2. George, I thought it was me, who did the tacky jokes.

     

    Minions, Inside out, Eejits next ;)

     

    Or cereal boxes characters for own brand and big labels?

  3. Amateurs! It is obviously an homage to a portion of Kazimir Malevich's 1918 oil painting White on White. How could anyone miss that? Jeez.

     

     

    EDIT: Yes, Loonaclik, you have indeed got the upload to work now. (sorry about all the joking before :rolleyes: )  

     

    A really clean image with good tonal range; are you going to share the adjustments done in the develop persona in order to achieve this for those who may not have worked with monochrome images much?

    Amateurs indeed!

     

    I had my money on the bottom left hand quarter from Robert Rauschenberg, White Painting, 1951. House paint on canvas, 72 x 72 in, four panels. 

     

    Seriously, some of us only have primitive JPG cameras and would like to see the initial image sitting next to the developed/finished image. So apart from huge file sizes, what else is different?

  4. Huachee, I've added some text to your first picture. Hope you find this agreeable.

     

    This is how you've inspired me.

     

    This collection would also make a beautiful set of stamps...it just needs some postal prices and country name added to it. The second and third pictures are from Pinterest...

    Ps I've just seen the video Blue and White porcelain. Is this one of your favourite Jay Chou videos?

  5. Hi Fujimo, welcom to the forums.

     

    Aah, that's better. I have made a picture like this before. So in theory it is possible to do this. It's all about the clipboard, selection tool and layers.

     

    1. Select the first image as your background.
    2. Put the second frame on a new level
    3. Call that frame two
    4. Now here comes the magic...
    5. Select the windsurfer from frame two with a rectangular marque/box, using the selection tool (pixel persona)
    6. Copy that selection
    7. Go back to layer one, where the first frame is, and simply press the paste button from the menu
    8. If that works, then it is just a case then of repeating the same steps.

    If you're interested in nice typography, font combination and (mostly) free quality font recommendations

    there’s this really nice blog called Typewolf by Jeremiah Shoaf you can follow or subscribe to.

    Thanks. I could tell that this was a good site...I couldn't keep up with all the new stuff!

  7.  Hi Huachee,

     

    A little history lesson for you and the forum...in 1981, the first Western musician to be allowed to perform in China, was Jean Michel Jarre. I have included the link to that concert here.

    This was one of his best performances. Here, he performed his first three albums and introduced some new tracks, written especially for this tour. 

     

    Four billboard posters were designed for his visit. Here is one of them. This is why I like your work.

    May your work with AD, continue to amaze us all...and bring you success.

  8. Hi Johnny, welcome to the forums.

     

    It sounds to me, that you want to design a brush; using small circles and triangles to differentiate, between valley folds and mountain folds. Am I right?

     

    Don't forget, that you can always sketch your ideas on paper first, then photo/scan it and import it to this thread. This is an artistic forum after all.
